Visit-to-Visit Office Blood Pressure Variability and Cardiovascular Outcomes in SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial)

TLDR
It is found that OBPV had no significant associations with the composite end point of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events nor with heart failure or stroke, and clinicians should continue to focus on office BP control rather than on O BPV unless definitive benefits of reducing OBPv are shown in prospective trials.
Abstract
Studies of visit-to-visit office blood pressure (BP) variability (OBPV) as a predictor of cardiovascular events and death in high-risk patients treated to lower BP targets are lacking. We conducted a post hoc analysis of SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial), a well-characterized cohort of participants randomized to intensive ( P =0.07). Our results suggest that clinicians should continue to focus on office BP control rather than on OBPV unless definitive benefits of reducing OBPV are shown in prospective trials.

Gender differences in hypertension.

TL;DR: More research into the sex/gender differences in mechanisms responsible for hypertension are needed to determine the best treatment options that will reduce the risk of hypertension and subsequent cardiovascular diseases in both genders.

Hypertension in Pregnancy: Diagnosis, Blood Pressure Goals, and Pharmacotherapy: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

- 01 Feb 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , a review of current literature on hypertension in pregnancy is presented, which includes normal physiological changes in pregnancy that may affect clinical presentation of hypertension and the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, an HDP commonly associated with proteinuria and increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous disease with different clinical phenotypes and likely distinct pathological mechanisms.

Visit-to-Visit Blood Pressure Variability, Carotid Atherosclerosis, and Cardiovascular Events in the European Lacidipine Study on Atherosclerosis

TL;DR: Whether visit-to-visit BP variability is prognostically important in treated mildly to moderately hypertensive patients in whom treatment aims at avoiding events but also at preventing or delaying progression of organ damage is investigated.

A more accurate method to estimate glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine: A new prediction equation

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to develop an equation from MDRD Study data that could improve the prediction of GFR from serum creatinine concentration, and major clinical decisions in general medicine, geriatrics, and oncology are made by using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and other formulas to predict the level of renal function.

Chronic kidney disease and the risks of death, cardiovascular events, and hospitalization

TL;DR: The longitudinal glomerular filtration rate was estimated among 1,120,295 adults within a large, integrated system of health care delivery in whom serum creatinine had been measured between 1996 and 2000 and who had not undergone dialysis or kidney transplantation.

Chronic kidney disease and the risks of death, cardiovascular events, and hospitalization

TL;DR: An independent, graded association was observed between a reduced estimated GFR and the risk of death, cardiovascular events, and hospitalization in a large, community-based population and highlights the clinical and public health importance of chronic renal insufficiency.

Prognostic significance of visit-to-visit variability, maximum systolic blood pressure, and episodic hypertension.

TL;DR: Visit-to-visit variability in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and maximum SBP are strong predictors of stroke, independent of mean SBP.
